To determine if 3848 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 3848.
If the factors of 3848 are only 3848 and 1, then we know that 3848 is a prime number. Otherwise, 3848 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 3848 is only divisible by 1 and 3848, then it is a prime number, and if 3848 is divisible by more than 3848 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 3848 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 26, 37, 52, 74, 104, 148, 296, 481, 962, 1924, 3848
Therefore, since 3848 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 3848 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
